The Grey Conquest
-
Narrated by:

By:
While the House of Altenburg prepares for war, a young prince rejects his father’s demand to study "lead and flame". Instead of joining his brothers in mapping the Rhine in red, he kneels in the damp with a Dutch-ground glass, obsessed with a remarkably different kind of empire: the slow, velvet conquest of lichen.
As men go mad for power and cannons bridge the Alps, he quietly charts the stone's microscopic, emerald frontiers. But when the royal flags inevitably rot and the mortal wars are forgotten, which empire will truly endure?
The Grey Conquest is a poetic and haunting tale of nature's patient victory over the fleeting ambitions of men.
